Noel Devine Update

Re: Looks Like Devine is Out

I'd make FSU and WVU my top two teams too if they were the only ones offering me! No surprise to me really since we haven't offered him. Still not sure about that one. Can't expect a guy like that to just walk on with other offers on the table.

I believe we have offered him. Why do you think we haven't offered him?
 
Re: Looks Like Devine is Out

It seems to me like WV would be a very good fit for him.

They don't play defense in the Big East, and He'll get to the 2nd level of defense easily, and then he's hard to tackle.

Guys... with so much conflicting info going around right now, I believe it's safe to say that we don't know anything for certain about ND right now. However, in a report from a reputable Florida source this morning, we're still in play. Do not get too discouraged because he's likely reporting factual stuff.
 
Re: Looks Like Devine is Out

I just read a post on a "rival" message board from someone that said they spoke to Devine's HS coach and he said he did not know where the Scouts story came from and that Devine does not have a favorite and he has not eliminated anyone at this point

Hope is still alive, sorry if this has been mentioned before.

Link for those that have an account...

Well, I guess that is not good. I doubt he or McKnight are coming to Bama, but let's just pray that he can improve his scores for his future.
 
Re: Looks Like Devine is Out

so, since we know he reads message boards, how about we delete that post before he sees it :)

And replace it with this ...

Noel ... you have my respect, friend.

It can't be easy growing up without a mom and dad. It can't be easy dealing with the pressures of being an internet legend since you were in tenth grade.

Yet you've hung in there when things could have fallen apart. You've been faithful to your family responsibilities, you've continued to excel as an athlete, and by all accounts you're making strides academically.

If your ego matched your reputation, this recruiting process could have been a circus. You've kept it low-key and dignified.

I hope you qualify, but even if you have to go the prep school/juco route, hang in there. You can do it.

I hope you come to Bama. But wherever you go, we'll enjoy watching you. Hope you gain lots of yards, even if some of them are against the Tide.

But more than anything else, may God's blessing be upon your life, and may you devote your gifts and talents to Him above all.

I'm not sure if you are being serious but I must say that is very well said and a nice sentiment that I would hope that all BAMA fans would adopt. One can't disrespect class!:wink:

Roll Tide!!!:BigA:

Article is inaccurate. And the weather is icy up this way, so WVA won't be a good trip. And Coach Rod thought the facilities were bad, so .....
 
Re: Looks Like Devine is Out

I'm going off of what is listed on both scouts and rivals. I never actually heard that we offered him either.

I would find it hard to believe that we'd still be in the running with him if we hadn't offered him. I would definitely not put too much into what Scout is saying about anything at this point. This stuff changes so quickly that relying solely on Rivals and Scout for accurate info is tenuous at best. Lucky for us we have our great mods to give us the scoop! :biggrin2:

I don't have access to the Rivals premium content, but someone else said that it shows that he does have an offer from us.

I agree, though - if we didn't offer him, I doubt he would have come for an official, and I doubt he'd be still considering us.

Mind you, this could all change with his visits this weekend, and he may not actually even sign with anyone on NSD in order to get some more 'research' in.
